We will be adding richness to the interactivity choices. However, for this specific scenario -- you can accomplish it by moving the filters you want the consumer users to interact with to the canvas. There are visualization controls for doing on-canvas filters. Disable the interactivity (which will hide the filter bar),…

Not exactly. Projects use queries which can be to datasets Live queries or automatic caching. If automatic caching is used, you can schedule these to ensure you have data at a specific time such as 6am or hourly for example. Projects when they load will query the source or cache. If the source system is slow, Automatic…

Good observation of the user experience issue here. What would be the benefits and challenges of having the blend data just stored with the project (vs dataset today)?

These are good comments. We are starting the design work in this area and will keep this in mind. 

Yes it is planned. We are finishing some improvements around admins having a way to address issues (such as an employee leaving the company). Once these are completed, we will work on enabling data flow sharing.

The version information is to help end users and administrators understand the features that have been added and can now be used. We have no plans to change that or to try to represent the internal patching state of the software. There are many components and services and they all have specific information which is…

Looks like you want to control the features end users can use. Is there a specific goal? Data flows are useful even for uploaded content like an excel spreadsheet. It would be good to understand your goal to inform our approach. 

Can you post a picture or show which screen this is on? For example, if I add access for sharing I get the display name.

There are two different issues here I think. 1) Allow admins to control/assign permissions to objects owned by other users. 2) Allow users with read/write permissions to modify / edit the data set. #2 should already be possible with either read/write to allow modification or full control for deletes, etc. For #1 - this is…

This makes sense. We will review how we can approach this. 

So -- an author could run it manually and you would like to control who has the ability to schedule?

Is there a specific max size and max number of columns that you think would work for your current scenarios?

Understood and agree we are missing something specific to analysis and dashboards.

Have you evaluated setting up public access with this approach https://medium.com/@insight2action/oracle-analytics-cloud-oac-embedding-public-user-access-part-1-5fb0f513508a We have other customers using this and it is available today. 

There may be some resource specific things do here -- for example a monitoring UI for specific jobs running. However, generally in OAC, this should not be necessary. The system is a PaaS service and it should have high availability without action on your part. It might be useful to do a PoC to get more insight. We can have…

The best approach is to have your customers vote for the idea. The ideas are reviewed on an ongoing basis and the votes affect the ranking. There is some related work in progress to improve the consumer experience overall. 

Your concern and argument makes a lot of sense. The planning for this feature has started, and we don't have a release timeline to share yet. In the mean time, if you do encounter an operational issue with someone leaving the company or similar situation, please reach out to support to see if we can assist. 

Is this likely to be "per data set" since calculations will need to have references to specific data? Or is it more like having code fragments which can be reused but are not specific to a data set?

What would be the benefit of preventing a user from scheduling a Data flow run? More insight in to your goal versus the specific setting would help. As stated, this is unlikely for use to implement as the main purpose of a data flow it to be able to run it and scheduling is just a way to make that easier. Is this about the…

The improvement is planned. We will post an update when it is available.
